Mary Kay Irving: Sellers actually have a little bit of an advantage in this market currently because we have such a low inventory with the economic downturn, people had been holding off on selling and so right now because of the low interest rates we have a lot of buyers but not
enough inventory, not
enough property
for them, so it's a great time
for sellers and my recommendations
for them would also be to hire an agent but to make sure that they get a pre-listing inspection done and so that they are not caught by any surprises of work that needs to be done and that the buyers will be asking them to do and also that they make sure, if they've got, money is
available to look into getting a consultation from a stager, a professional stager, at the very least they need to be making sure everything is de-cluttered and arranged properly, so sellers who do hire a professional stager actually sell their
homes much more quickly and
for a higher price,
for higher final
sale price, so it's in their best interest to actually hire a stager.
